Swaddler

December 21, 2009

I’ve been meaning to try out the straight jacket swaddler pattern from this book after I checked it out at my local library. This was an easy pattern, probably not for a beginning sewer but pretty easy overall. The inside is soft fleece I bought in the black Friday craziness at Joann’s, and the outside is of course a full moon dot by Amy Butler.

Hey, I just did a post about swaddling blankets on my blog! My version is much more low-tech, but so darn effective. There's a goofy video my husband made on how to use it – you should check it out just for a chuckle. :-)

I just made one of these swaddlers–it looks a bit awkward to me. I was wondering if you had tried it on an actual baby. If you have how did the velcro work. It doesn't appear to be in a proper position to swaddle the baby tightly. Could you email me back if you have tried it on a baby. theriverdaughter at gmail dot com. Thanks
